Science
Subject Leaders: Mr G Rees & Miss H Parr
At St. George's
Science at our school is an exciting, dynamic subject designed to spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning. Our intent is to ensure every child develops a strong understanding of scientific concepts, investigative skills, and the confidence to question the world around them. Through hands-on exploration and critical thinking, we aim to nurture the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators.
Our Curriculum
Our science curriculum follows the National Curriculum for England and is carefully sequenced to build knowledge year on year. From exploring plants, materials, and forces in the early years, to delving into biology, chemistry, and physics in upper key stages, pupils are given a broad, balanced, and ambitious science education.
Learning Experience
Science lessons are practical, interactive, and enquiry-based. Pupils develop their understanding through experiments, investigations, and collaborative learning. Lessons are carefully adapted to meet the needs of all learners, with opportunities to extend high attainers and support those who need more guidance. Beyond the classroom, enrichment opportunities include STEM clubs, the Great Science Share and Science Day.

Real-World Applications
Science underpins so much of our modern world. From the technology we use daily, to medicine, transport, and environmental sustainability, pupils see how their learning connects to real life. We emphasise the links between science, maths, and engineering, showing students how skills such as data handling, measurement, and problem-solving are essential in scientific careers.

Support and Resources
Parents and carers can support science learning at home through simple activities such as cooking, gardening, or exploring nature. Online resources are an excellent way to reinforce classroom learning, for example:
- BBC Bitesize Science
- STEM Learning Home Activities
- Explorify
- Oxford Owl Science Activities
- National Geographic Kids
